| Pros | Reduced redness and pain. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It did not decrease the number of new acne lesions. |
| Bottom line | Acne is an inflammatory disease. Anything that reduces inflammation is not a bad thing. Great cosmetic product, with a lovely aroma. |
| Recommended | Yes |
| Price paid | $7.99 |

| Pros | Reduces redness, kills inflammation, basically zaps your zits. Someone else put that this zaps zits better than bp - they're right! if you have an open zit, put this in it and let it dry. Works like gangbusters. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I've read that it can cause photosensitivity. I've not experienced dryness from my usage (and I'm slathering it all over, undiluted, so know what to expect from your skin) |
| Bottom line | This is by far the best thing I've found for my acne. I'm well on my way to clear now and it's been two weeks. If you would have told me two weeks ago that lavender oil would be able to do this, I would have laughed at you. I've had mild acne that decided to upgrade itself to moderate within the last two years (I'm 21 now). I went to work on it with BP, salicylic acid, various moisturizers, including cetaphil and aloe vera. alpha hydroxy acids, organic honey, you name it. (oh and aspirin masks and egg whites) This is the secret. Folks, it works better than honey + BP (blashphemy...lol). All I can say is get it get it get it. I wash my face at night and put this on and some AHA on for good measure. Every morning my skin looks better. I could actually have a shot at being completely clear in another few weeks or so (few more bumps on my cheeks and some redness there as well...) |

| Pros | it dried out pimples fast |
|---|---|
| Cons | the smell is really strong |
| Bottom line | I used lavender oil for a few weeks and it works better at drying up pimples than most creams. It also works fast for the most part. The only problem I had with it was the odor. It is very very strong and very hard to deal with. If you have it on people will know and I didn't find the odor so pleasant. I would also be careful using it because of how potent it is. Try it on a small area of your face for a few days before using it all over because you could have a reaction to it. I would give it a try I guess but you will probably find as I have that it will be a pain to use everyday. |

| Pros | Smells great, easy to use, natural healing oil, no side effects, cheap (£5)- it lasts forever...well not forever but for a long time. Oh and it is a natural insect repellant. |
|---|---|
| Cons | If used neat it could burn the skin or cause dryness, if you have sensitive skin like mine. Mix with a carrier oil like coconut or almond = no problems. |
| Bottom line | Its worth a shot. Try it, what have you got to loose...! It feels soothing and very calming on skin. Prevents acne as well as fighting existing acne. does not clog pores or cause rashes (unless used neat on sensitive skin) best thing to do is 1 drop of lavender oil with 5 drops of coconut/almond oil....use as face cream twice a day. Non greesy aswel! |

| Pros | Takes redness away within 5 mins, anit-bacteria and anti-inflammatory. Helps heal scars. Dries up pimples in a night sometimes! It's hardly "oily" - put it on slightly dmap skin so it soaks in if worried. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None. Well can be drying but only slightly and not really on anywhere but the pimples wi\hich is what you want dried up. |
| Bottom line | Only thing I've found that I put on a pimple i picked :S and it dried it up (no pus came back as it usually does). Not only dried it up but took the inflammation away completely. The small scab peeled off in a couple of days and left perfect unscarred skin underneath. |

| Pros | Its so great, helps me sleep, clear my acne overnight. In one week, they will be gone I'm sure. I love it. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I purchased my at Fred Meyer for $10. Its in organic section. Its so worth it. It kills acne so fast, I can't believe. it. I already tried numerous products, you name it, I will tell you the process I used that product. Everything, either they work very little or not at all and have to wait long time. Lavender oil is the best!. You should definitely try for your acne, you will be very glad. |

| Pros | Works fast, easy to use, natural, afordable |
|---|---|
| Cons | a little drying but your acne is gone so who cares? |
| Bottom line | Clears pimples and scars amazingly fast! I've been using it every day for about 2 weeks and all my scars and pimples are well on their way to being history! It's the best thing I've ever used and I've used tons of creams and washes both cheap and expensive. I spent over 20 $ on a small tube of vichy cream to get rid of pimples and now I realize that was a waste, lavender works 5 times better and its natural! Use this and egg whites to clear your face! Also mix a few drops of lavender into your egg white and into whatever lotion you use on your face for amazing results. Oh, and if you're a guy like me only use it when you plan on staying in otherwise you'll smell strongly of lavender, use before bed for better looking skin every morning! |

| Pros | My daughter has been using lavender, bergamot and geranium oil, mixed with a carrier oil, from a natural therapeutist, so far so good. It slows the oil production by normalising the hormones in the skin and stops new spots forming. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It takes a couple of weeks to work but you can see it working, slowly. |
| Bottom line | definitely worth a try. My daughter is much happier. She had tried virtually everything and this is the only thing that has worked. |
